The Talk: |

Linus Torvalds himself once famously whined that KDE 4 had driven him to Gnome. Klaatu and Snackie take on the roles of KDE4 apologists, outlining why KDE is actually really kool, helps you get more work done more efficiently, and is in fact the Desktop Of The Future, and even exemplifies the very ideal of a unixy desktop. Cake will be served. |
